Some very fine friends of ours came for a visit last weekend and we took a little trip Hood Museum of Art in Hanover, New Hampshire. We went for Picasso exhibit, but alas he had fled. While accidentaly looking at an exhibit of early American artifacts, I had an unexpectadly special moment with a little blue glass pitcher. It was just delicious.

The following morning I felt a strong scavenging urge but I was damn tired from a weekend of friends and wine and it god-awful cold so I had not the strength to travel far. I decided on a quick trip to Putney, VT, a mere 11 miles down the road. It had been a while since I had hit Swirl - a top notch vintage/consignment boutique in the heart of town.

With that little blue pitcher lurking in my consciousness , I thought to myself with bizarre certainty, "I want to find a blue, glass, treasure today". After stopping at the Putney General Store for a damn- good latte ( yay putney! good espresso is hard to find ) I enter Swirl and beaming bright and blue from the shelves of the 50% off section is all this wild and whacky blue glass treasure.
